    Replaced my 1-1400 koralia powerhead with 2-koralia 850s. I've seen numerous placement threads, which is most ideal? Filter is Emperor 400 as well... [​IMG]<br/>

    its all aboutt he movement and the liking of your corals. there the most important. its up to you mostly, If your coral does not look happy then move them a different way.

    Agreed- you may need to play with them a bit to determine what's best for your tank. The only real guideline I can offer is make sure one is not pointed directly at any corals. Those that prefer strong current require random flow. At best, laminar flow will cause distorted growth patterns.
